Another wallhanging

Hi guys, I'm in Christmas mode! yikes! me!! who doesn't normally do Christmas till the 24th of December and even then it's debatable!!! lol,

anyhow, I decided to make another wall hanging as I so loved doing the first one, this time I've kept my colours to my faves at the moment, you will be sick of seeing these colours soon lol,

warning picture heavy again lol,

I've again used a large Go Kreate die for the main shape the used a square for the main design, I've tweaked a gorgeous sketch from MDU for the inspiration,
the gorgeous papers are MME Winter Wonderland from Teresa at my crafty heart and Riddersholm / Huntington garden ~ songbird from Live and love crafts, the main shape is larger, so needs 8 by 8 or 12 by 12 papers

All my images are coloured with my distress re-inkers, then this adorable new Tilda from the latest collection, has been cut out and layered onto a Doo Hickey lovely fence, which has been dabbed with snow tex as has the Doo Hickey spruce tree, and all the Pine tree dies,

I masked the Welcome to a sweet Christmas stamp with the new snowy roof stamp again from the new Christmas Story collection then I stamped the roof out again coloured both sections and after cutting the second one out layered it over the top of the main image with pin flair glue for depth,

Hope you can see the depth of this picture, the snow effect was again done with snow Tex, love this stuff lol,

I used a Doo Hickey tag die which I stamped the new Merry Christmas stamp onto then edged the edges again with snow Tex, the bow is made using oloroso seam binding from the pretty little ribbon shop,
I made the poinsettia flower using the same papers as my background and added a little snow Tex again,
the holly leaves are a Marianne die,

The smoke was made using a Doo Hickey swirl die, I used Tim Holtz Idea-ology hitch fasteners for the gorgeous twine which was in a lovely candy I won from Maria Therese and the beautiful doily was a gift from Teresa, thank you girls,
to finish off I machine stitched my square paper then added Snow Tex here and there, lol

Tegan's teething at the moment and boy do I know it, the sweet little girl has been replaced by a gremlin!!!
so I'm shattered lol,
will try to catch up later,

Ps I've just looked and I have 804 followers, thank you very much, I really appreciate the time you take to visit me, my candy is still running to the end of the month, see post at top of my blog,
happy Crafting,
hugs Liz xx
